Yoga can save government, families' healthcare costs: Suresh Prabhu


Panaji, Nov 12 (IANS):  Practicing yoga regularly can enable governments and individual households save on healthcare costs, Union Minister for Commerce and Industry Suresh Prabhu said here on Monday.

Speaking at the inaugural session of a two-day international yoga conference, Prabhu said that yoga helps provide the right balance between providing good healthcare without burdening individual households or governments.

"If you do yoga regularly, it will prevent diseases, it will make life better with almost no cost. The governments will not be burdened with costs, nor households will have to face the big challenge of how to provide hospitalisation to the family members," the Minister said.

"This is a great opportunity of bringing yoga as an answer to many problems that the global world is facing."

    This government is fooling people wherever possible........yoga.. Jim....or any other body building.... or Chinese kumpu.....are people individual interest.. is not national agenda.... or not a government development project...... it totally people individual interest.......
    It is not creating job or it not required any education for yoga.....
    Thus brainless government wasting public money on non development work like ganga cleaning .... mandirs...... statues......yoga...... rass shakes.....pakode chai.... gomutre ...cow...gober..... cow shelter....etc..
    This goberment allotted billlians of tax payers money ... and result is zero.... all money is pocketed by BJP........ and murk bhakts are shouting har har Modi....
    This country will deffenatly move to stonge....
